About the project
Reverse-engineered source code for the MS-DOS version of the 1991 game Sid Meier's Civilization, building into a byte-for-byte matching CIV.EXE. Comes with a technical book and a walkthrough of the game's architecture.
Useful for
- Build CIV.EXE from source with Microsoft C 5.1 and MASM in DOSBox-X
- Study the architecture and systems of the original Civilization via the technical book
- Verify the build matches the original executable against pinned hashes

Stars per day
Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.
Why it’s trending
- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-20 (UTC), 16:27–18:17: 2 → 3 stars (+1). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +1 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 10 days old and already has 3 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Hacker News: “Show HN: Civ 1 period accurate decompilation” — 9 points, 9 h ago.
Measured growth: the last 7 completed days
New stars over 7 days: 1.

Star trust
Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.
These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
